1000 Kelvin and Fieldmade to Support Military with 3D Printing

At the Military Additive Manufacturing (MilAM) Summit & Technology Showcase, 1000 Kelvin, a U.S. and Germany based AI-driven additive manufacturing (AM) software company, and Fieldmade, a Norwegian pioneer in mobile manufacturing for rugged environments, report a partnership set to increase the immediate deployment of 3D printing at the front lines.

1000 Kelvin's AMAIZE platform, uses artificial intelligence (AI) informed by physics and manufacturing data to provide AM engineers with an AI-copilot, correcting print recipes and ensuring production of AM parts. This technology aligns with Fieldmade's expertise in creating deployable AM solutions, such as their NOMAD Series of transportable AM modules. By combining their products, the two companies enable users in fields of battle to begin producing parts as soon as their 3D printer modules arrive on site, ensuring adaptability to operational needs.

“Our vision is to make deployable 3D printing as easy as using a vending machine,” says Jostein Olsen, CEO of Fieldmade. “The integration of 1000 Kelvin's AMAIZE into our products is a significant step towards this goal.”

With a history of collaborating with the Norwegian Armed Forces and other defense entities, Fieldmade works as a partner for 1000 Kelvin, the companies note. Fieldmade’s ability to deploy units capable of operating in diverse conditions complements 1000 Kelvin's goal of enhancing AM's efficiency, according to the companies.

Omar Fergani, Ph.D., CEO and co-founder of 1000 Kelvin, highlights the potential impact of this partnership: “By combining our strengths, we're not just advancing technology; we're providing solutions that can save time, costs, and in critical military scenarios, even lives.”

The collaboration between 1000 Kelvin and Fieldmade will offer end-to-end additive solutions that ensure part production rapidly, anywhere and anytime, according to the companies.
